Jørgensen was sold to IF Elfsborg on 20 November 2011 for around £300,000-£600,000, making this the biggest deal in the history of Sarpsborg 08. The club president later confirmed the deal and Jørgensen said that he had never worked with such a professional club as Elfsborg. He stated that the reasoning behind choosing Elfsborg ahead of other Norwegian clubs was Jörgen Lennartssons qualities as a manager and the way Elfsborg plays football. Joackim's comments on the transfer were: "Elfsborg is probably the team that will bring me the most and I think I can perform well at this club. They have a good staff of coaches and a lot of good players. I like the way Elfsborg wants to play, they like to play the ball. I like the passing mentality. I hope I can contribute in the penalty area, both offensively and defensively." The new head…
